Re: Soapbox: It's Okay to Enjoy Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West

Dudditz09

I don't like either is that ok?

Well to be honest I've not played either, I didn't like HZD, found it boring as sin, I've never got along with soulsborne games and reviews have done nothing to convince me that the newest iterations would be any different. So I've not bought either of them.

But yeah, why can't people just like what they like and get on with enjoying their games?

Re: Rafts of PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in Big in Japan Sale

Dudditz09

Really tempted to pick up Scarlett Nexus but I just picked up Kena and Deathloop yesterday, planning in getting sifu and GT next week, am still playing Cyberpunk, got P5S to start, still can't stop tinkering with Planet Coaster.

So no I probably don't need that right now.

Sure it will go on sale another time...

Re: PS Plus March 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

Dudditz09

Got STR on the switch
GoT Online doesn't interest me, neither does Ark but I might give them both a bash.
GTA Online, been there, done that

Ghostrunner I'll defo download and try at some point.

Still wrapped up in Planet Coaster and Cyberpunk, and got a few games I'm gonna pick up over the next couple of weeks.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 1.5 Patch Notes are Gigantic and Game-Changing

Said a few times here, I bought it cheap, played a couple of hours and liked it enough, issues aside.

Was really hoping they would knock it out the park but to me... They've kinda not went the extra mile that I thought they would. I dunno what else I would have liked to have seen to be honest but this just seems like what should be the minimum expected.

Maybe I'm being harsh, I dunno.

It's downloading, I'll fire it up but I'm keeping the expectations low.

Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Making More Live Service Games for PS5, PS4, And I'm Excited

Dudditz09

Live service games such as Fortnite ain't for me, just not my thing but I appreciate that people do love them and that's good, we all like different things.

If there is balance (as in all the GaaS efforts aren't online shooters) and there is still focus on the SP narrative driven games, then I don't see an issue really.

Can't imagine why anyone would be mad about it.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection?

Dudditz09

Played them all, more than once.

Not gonna bother paying for this, don't have the will to play them again to be honest, regardless of how good they look.

Plenty of new games about I'd rather sink my time into.

There will be PS5 upgrades I do get on board with, I upgraded Death Stranding because I never actually got that far into the PS4 version, but this... Nah.

Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

Dudditz09

They don't need to go toe to toe with MS in an acquisition face off which they likely can't afford anyway.

Why do they need to have the same? Why does Sony need a gamepass clone?

Time for Sony focus on what can differentiate them from MS. VR, fantastic 1st person exclusives, Discord integration for better community features.

And then there is Spartacus. Ideally a retro collection for those who want it, maybe discounts for members instead of day 1 releases (to make PS5 games price points more palatable).

Support for indie studios, not every great game is AAA as we know, focus more on pointing the community to great indie games, put them in the spotlight more.

Loads of ways they can play it without resorting for a tit for tat acquisition spree which, let's face it, makes gaming worse for us.

Re: Xbox Boss Reacts to PS Plus, PS Now Rumours, Says It's the 'Right Answer'

Dudditz09

Sony have bumped games up to £70 RRP

Subscribers to Spartacus (or whatever it ends up being called) get a discount on 1st party games up release, bringing them down to a more palatable £50/£55.

Unlikely but it would be a hit with a good chunk of people. And yeah, I have no idea if it's sustainable but certainly more sustainable than full release day 1 you would imagine.

As well as merging Plus and Now into one service.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Realistically Expect from PS5, PS4's Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot?

Dudditz09

Wouldn't be surprised if they combined them both and added crunchyroll.

I'm not sure I'll fork out for much more than a Plus tier (like we currently have) to be honest, unless they managed to offer something seriously tempting and if I'm honest, I don't actually know what they could do to tempt me.

I have GP, IMO it's not as insane value as some people make out. Lot of padding in there. I keep it mainly for the wee man so he can mess about with games on his PC.

So a GP clone, nah. Anime, nah.

Was anything else every said about the trial they run in Poland? Movies I think it was? Even then, I don't think that would be worth the extra for me?

Retro games? Again, not for me, very few I go back to an actually enjoy like I did at the time.

Seems I'm gonna be very difficult to impress 😂

Re: Poll: How Long Should Games Be?

Dudditz09

I've not voted as to me, length doesn't matter, quality of gameplay, story etc matter more.

I checked my stats the other day, 418 hours into the Witcher 3 for example.

But I'm equally as happy stick 15 hours in Ratchet and Clank, or 30 hours into Spiderman (can't remember the exact numbers there).

Suppose it all depends on what's important to you. I've thrown thousands of hours each into Cities Skylines, CK3 and Football Manager on the PC for example, because the gameplay loops keep me coming back.

To me, game time is low down on my list of what is an important factor in making a purchase.

Re: Dying Light 2 Takes 500 Hours to 'Fully Complete', Official Twitter Has to Clarify

Dudditz09

Game length is a funny one. I sunk well over 100 hours into one playthrough of The Witcher 3 (dlc included), well over 100 into Persona 5 (and now playing Royal)... I was gutted when they ended as I could have played more.

Shorter games are also fine with me, Rift Apart took what, maybe 10-12 hours. Still a good game.

If the quality of the game is good, the length of time to complete is irrelevant to me

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year Edition

Dudditz09

Helping the wee man with a Miles Morales playthrough on the PS4

For me, messing about with Cyberpunk to see what it's like, will get into it properly once the drop the PS5 patch. As well I'll be continuing my P5R run through ahead of Striker on Plus this month. Bit of Asteroids Recharged thrown in as well, cracking pickup for us to play as a family taking shots about. And not too far removed from the original, whilst still feeling like a decent experience on current gen.
